• Work with teams to clarify goals and deliverables, bring data to planning and prioritization.
• Identify and manage cross-team dependencies, facilitating alignment and ensuring seamless integration of deliverables.
• Coordinate post-launch activities, including monitoring adoption, collecting feedback, and driving follow-up actions to enhance outcomes.
